So basically, I tried to install nmtui, and when I tried to run it, there was an error in the terminal that said
NetworkManager is not running.
I already had that installed, and even added it to the runit daemons to try and get nmtui to work, but to no avail. How do I go about fixing this issue?
You say you installed NetworkManager and added it to the runit demons, but you didn't say if it is actually running. I use openrc, so I can't comment on runit, but are you sure NetworkManager is running? Check the runit log to be sure there weren't any problems trying to launch it.
What's the output of
sudo sv status NetworkManager
NM was very easy for me to set up on runit. I just installed
networkmanager and
networkmanager-runit and symlinked /etc/runit/sv/NetworkManager to /run/runit/service and it was running. So I second checking that it actually is running, that it's symlinked correctly, etc.
Did you happen to install networkmanager-runit
